Leeds United manager Neil Warnock hails his side's 1-0 win over Leicester City as a fitting tribute to Gary Speed on the anniversary of the Welshman's death.

Leeds United manager Neil Warnock has hailed his side's 1-0 victory over Leicester City as a fitting tribute to Gary Speed on the anniversary of the Welshman's death.

The Whites came out on top at Elland Road on Tuesday night courtesy of Lucciano Becchio's penalty kick early in the first half.

"Gary would have loved that, us getting stuck in. I thought it was fitting," said Warnock. "It was a Gary Speed game tonight, roll your sleeves up and not shirking a tackle.

"We beat top of the league [Crystal Palace] on Saturday, but [Leicester] are the best squad and you can tell that with the subs they made.

"But in both games we have deserved it. We played some good stuff, with flair, but also putting bodies on the line when we needed."

Speed made over 300 appearances for Leeds between 1988 and 1996.
